Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Mickleham (postcode 3064), a rapidly growing suburb within the City of Hume, about 30km north of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Mickleham and neighbouring Craigieburn, Donnybrook, Kalkallo and Merrifield, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Mickleham is one of Melbourne’s most rapidly expanding growth corridor communities, positioned on the Hume Highway/Hume Freeway corridor that has historically been the primary artery between Melbourne and regional Victoria and beyond. The Merrifield precinct adjacent to Mickleham is among Melbourne’s largest new mixed-use developments — a master-planned community encompassing thousands of new homes alongside major industrial and logistics facilities. Mickleham’s position within the City of Hume places it within one of Australia’s most culturally diverse local government areas, with strong multicultural communities anchored by the established suburbs to its south at Craigieburn and Roxburgh Park. The Donnybrook station precinct — a new rail extension on the Craigieburn line — will provide direct rail services to the Melbourne CBD, supporting continued population growth in this northern corridor. The Hume Freeway provides fast road connections directly to Melbourne’s CBD and north to regional Victoria.
